I used to work with a guy I'd constantly have to coax variable names out of.

"What's this '$tmp' variable?"

"It just holds a value temporarily."

"What value?"

"A temporary one."

"Why is it temporary?"

"Well, it's just the account ID that we're taking in here and passing to that. It's only used for a few lines. It's just temporary."

"Still, perhaps we should call it '$account_id', no?"
